3 Great Restaurants in Charleston


So you're heading to Charleston, South Carolina, are you? I'm jealous. The streets of Charleston are paved not with gold but with tons of rave-worthy restaurants that any fierce foodie would be proud to say they'd dined at.

Here are my top three:

* Slightly North of Broad: Affectionately called "SNOB" by the locals---south of Broad Street is the fancy-schmancy part of the city---this grande dame of dining is perfect for ladies who lunch and romantic date nights alike. Chef Frank Lee is a local hero.

* FIG: It stands for "Food is Good"---and the food really is good at this Meeting Street spot where the bold and the beautiful gather all nights of the week. Cozy up to the bar for a specialty cocktail before settling down in the dining room for the best locally-grown meal of your life.

* Hominy Grill: If you're jonesing for a good cup of joe and a brunch that'll stick to your bones, Hominy Grill is your spot. Housed in an old barbershop, it still boasts the original red-and-white barber pole, along with a gorgeous tin ceiling. Don't miss the housemade pumpkin ginger bread.
